Mapping the New Left Antisemitism: The Fathom Essays provides a
comprehensive guide to contemporary Left antisemitism. The rise of
a new and largely left-wing form of antisemitism in the era of the
Jewish state, and the distinction between it and legitimate
criticism of Israel is now roiling progressive politics in the West
and causing alarming spikes in antisemitic incitement and
incidents. Fathom journal has examined these questions relentlessly
in the first decade of its existence, earning a reputation for
careful textual analysis and cogent advocacy. In this book, the
Fathom essays are contextualised by three new contributions: Lesley
Klaff provides a map of contemporary antisemitic forms of
antizionism, Dave Rich writes on the oft-neglected lived experience
of the Jewish victims of contemporary antisemitism, and David Hirsh
assesses the intellectual history of the left from which both
Fathom and his own London Centre for the Study of Contemporary
Antisemitism, as well as this book series, have emerged. Topics
covered by the contributors include: antisemitic anti-Zionism and
its under-appreciated Soviet roots; the impact of analogies with
the Nazis; the rise of antisemitism on the European continent,
exploring the hybrid forms emerging from a cross-fertilisation
between new left, Christian, and Islamist antisemitism; the impact
of anti-Zionist activism on higher education; and the bitter
debates over the adoption of the oft-misrepresented International
Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism.
This work will be of considerable appeal to scholars and activists
with an interest in antisemitism, Jewish studies, and the politics
of Israel.
